I've recently discovered the delightful addition of cardamom spice to my coffee, and the owner expertly incorporates it for a wonderfully balanced flavor with no need for any additives. I enjoyed a homemade caramel apple slice along with my coffee to go. The atmosphere exuded warmth and comfort, perfectly reflecting the true spirit of hospitality that complements the historic downtown area of Scotia in Schenectady, NY.

I also don't know why we bring books of our own when his shelves are filled with fascinating stuff to flip through, not to mention games too. I look forward to another visit next chance I get.
